New Grower -- Confused

[Nighttimex3]

Hey guys,

So i have a 190CFM inline 4" fan with a carbon filter setup, 400 watt HPS w/ reflector, humidifier, and a 2'x4'x5' grow tent on their way.

Once I get everything, I want to start growing immediately.

After germination, what is the next couple of steps to get them into the veg. stage?

I'm going to buy a 50watt 2' T5 flourescent bulb for vegetating.

What soil/substrate do I put the seedlings in? Any suggested nutrients to use specifically for seedlings and vegetating plants? What about once they flower?

When do I re-pot the plants? How should the lights be set up with the plants at those stages?

I've been reading this forum for around 2 and a half weeks trying to absorb all this information but theres a lot to know and do if you want to grow properly.

Can anyone help me out with a step-by-step, or a link or something?

Thanks.

there ya go. i followed this thread and never had to ask a basic question and had great success the first time. when you have problems during growing hit us up. watching jorge cervantes videos also are helpful to watch but please read that sticky. it is more in depth than his videos
